13 Jehovah thy God shalt thou fear, and him shalt thou serve, and in his name shalt thou swear. 14 Ye shall not go after other gods from the gods of the peoples which are round about you; 15 (For Jehovah thy God a jealous God in the midst of thee) lest the anger of Jehovah thy God shall kindle against thee and destroy thee from the face of the earth. 16 Ye shall not try Jehovah your God, as ye tempted in Massah. 17 Watching, ye shall watch the commands of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his laws that he commanded thee. 18 And do thou the right and the good in the eyes of Jehovah so that it shall be well to thee, and thou go in and possess the good land which Jehovah sware to thy fathers, 19 To drive out all thine enemies from before thee as Jehovah spake. 20 When thy son shall ask thee tomorrow, saying, What the testimonies and the laws and the judgments which Jehovah our God commanded you? 21 And say thou to thy son, We were servants to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt by a strong hand: 22 And Jehovah will give signs and wonders, great and evil, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his house before our eyes: 23 And he brought us out from there in order to bring us in to give to us the land which he sware to our fathers. 24 And Jehovah will command us to do all these laws, to fear Jehovah our God, for good to us all the days, to preserve us alive as this day. 25 And it shall be justice to us when we shall watch to do all these commands before Jehovah our God as he commanded us.
